Observations
How do you keep the watermelon in this sandwich fresh?
To keep the watermelon fresh, we advise you to prepare the sandwich just before eating it, and to keep it refrigerated if you prepare it in advance, making sure to wrap it tightly to prevent it from drying out.
Can another cheese be used instead of feta in this recipe?
Yes, you can replace the feta with fresh goat's cheese or mozzarella to vary the flavours while retaining the freshness and contrast with the watermelon.
What are the nutritional benefits of this watermelon-feta-arugula sandwich?
This sandwich is rich in water thanks to the watermelon, which helps to keep you hydrated. The feta provides protein and calcium, while the arugula offers vitamins and antioxidants, making this dish a light and healthy snack.
How to prevent watermelon from absorbing too much water into the sandwich?
To limit excess water, you can lightly blot the watermelon slices with kitchen paper before assembling the sandwich, which will prevent it from becoming too moist.
